Local NJ trucks

[pwdcougar]

Was out and about local yesterday as a passenger in a friend's car. We were looking at cars for her son so I had my eyes open looking at vehicles in the local car lots and saw 3 67 - 72 trucks. At one car lot was a K20 long bed with a plow. Looked like it was recently painted. It had a GMC nose and a Chevy tailgate on the bed. It belonged to the car lot's owner. At another lot I saw the tail end of a bright orange or yellow truck. We didn't stop so I couldn't get a closer look. The third truck was another 4WD long bed with a 71 or 72 grill behind a house

What a day! Three classic Chevys within a 10 mile drive on Rt.46 in NJ.

There are quite a few around if you look. I pass one every day on rt 130 near Swedesboro, he's always going the opposite direction. Rat Rod black longbed.

Down the road from me is a green patina 69 or 70 that lays rocker.

I drive mine around all over the place.

Don't see too many for sale though.

The local CL has several for sale.

This 69 long bed is pretty nice.

This 68 has blurry pics but it is a 4WD short bed

You want patina? This truck oozes it

This is a Longhorn. A buddy of mine checked it out and it has rust in the usual places:

This is a 65 panel:

A 71 Longhorn. Pretty cheap. I may look at it for parts. The grill looks nice. If I bring home another truck though my wife and neighbors will string me up:

Just last month there were 2 or 3 more. A buddy and I looked at a 70 4WD stepside with a 6 inch lift.

There's lots out there if you look. I found mine on CL.

[pwdcougar]

Both my Suburbans were Craigslist finds.

Here is a link for a C20 on my local CL:

I did not realize there were this many people on this board in the NY / NJ area. I live in NY right by the Mahwah NJ / NY border.

My old stomping grounds! Grew up in Sloatsburg, high school in Suffern and worked at Abex for a while.

I moved to Suffern in 2009. Grew up in NYC. My wife is from NJ; born in Englewood; grew up in Cliffside Park. What part of Jersey do you live in now?

Is your truck up and running?

I actually drove past you today to visit a client. Waaaayyyy past you - to Arkville, NY which is pretty much in the middle of nothing and nowhere.

[dragnframe]

Not even touched yet, trying to finish 2 other projects before I get involved with my 67. I have everything I need for it but no time.

Anyone else from the 51st state ? .. South jersey . Used to see these trucks sitting all over. 20 yrs ago . An could buy em cheap , 50-200 bucks sitting in yards

[88lsiroc]

Quite a few in the poconos. The sixth borough of New York.
To bad a little rust to us is WAY different than living in the west.

Yup. Gloucester county here.

I'm in Rockaway NJ. Every month I drive up to meet friends at the Shamrock Hotel. When I drive down 59 toward Spring Valley, I feel like on a different planet. Everything has changed!

[zeeklu]

I'm in Budd Lake right off RT 46.

[twouvakind]

Middletown represented.

[markiemark]

NYC...... Bronx... and my lil 67 is just waiting for me in the garage... but it will be some time before she comes out to play

[pwdcougar]

Zeeklu, Budd Lake is pretty close to me. What year truck do you have?

I'd love to see a 67 Chevy riding around the Bronx!

I grew up in Montville and my dad and brother still run my fathers upholstery shop there after 60 years , I beat up and trashed more 67-72 4x4 trucks than they sold in Jersey in the late 60's to early 70's and he still has a few ... Most everything has it's fair share of serious rust in Jersey ! The fastest cars in the county came from montville in the 70's

[Flthead]

We'll for you guys down in south jersey , good swap meet coming up . I'm always looking for Chevy truck stuff

[Youey]

Jackson here!
